Since 2004, Svensk Solenergi has awarded three categories of “Solenergipriset” – the Solar Energy Prize for Facility of the Year Land, Facility of the Year Building and Achievement of the Year. The awards go to ” facilities, companies or private individuals whose achievements are worth highlighting as good examples to be inspired by”, according to Svensk Solenergi – the Swedish Solar Energy Association.

On their website describes the price as follows.

With the Solar Energy Prize, the industry association wants to focus on solar energy and contribute to increasing the power output in Sweden. The aim is to spread knowledge throughout the country about the solar energy industry’s most spectacular projects, thereby inspiring curiosity and creating interest. Therefore, each year the Solar Energy Prize highlights new examples of the industry’s most innovative ideas and developments – driving the technology forward. We also believe in the award’s ability to inform about standardized projects that reduce costs, make the technology more accessible and eventually create a larger market.

Sunnas’s large-scale Holma Solpark facility in Falköping has been nominated for the 2026 Solar Energy Award in the “Ground-Mounted Facility of the Year” category, with the following rationale:

“Holma Solpark, located just outside Falköping, is a large-scale solar power plant that demonstrates how solar energy can be developed in a sustainable, efficient, and landscape-friendly manner. Across 16 hectares, 18,800 solar panels have been installed, which are estimated to generate approximately 14 GWh of renewable electricity annually—equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of 2,800 single-family homes. The open, fence-free design allows the solar park to blend seamlessly into the landscape, and the layout demonstrates thoughtful design that respects the surroundings. The facility is one of the few solar parks built without financing via a PPA.”

The award will be presented at the Swedish Solar Energy Association’s annual meeting in April.
